It just won't find anything on that disk; all it says is "unknown filesystem type 0x83" when i set "root (hd0,0)", so I assume grub can read my partition table. Which looks like this: Disk /dev/hdc: 524 cylinders, 64 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #sectors Id System /dev/hdc1 * 63 2032127 2032065 83 Linux /dev/hdc2 2032128 2112767 80640 82 Linux swap Anyway. I was looking for those blocks: debugfs: stat vmlinuz-2.4.18 Inode: 31810 Type: regular Mode: 0644 Flags: 0x0 Generation: 4021347668 User: 0 Group: 0 Size: 1142751 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 1 Blockcount: 2240 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x3d16ffac -- Mon Jun 24 13:17:00 2002 atime: 0x3d175b67 -- Mon Jun 24 19:48:23 2002 mtime: 0x3d154d99 -- Sun Jun 23 06:24:57 2002 BLOCKS: (0-11):66038-66049, (IND):66050, (12-278):66051-66317 TOTAL: 280 But that doesn't seem to work either. "kernel (hd0,0)66038+280" does just nothing, namely "Invalid or unsupported executable format" -- you always get that when referencing to some bogus structure on the disk. Does grub use other blocks than those? slowly I'm beginning to think I should subscribe to some grub-mailinglist. thank you anyway.
